About 1958 Fire Hall #3
Built in 1911 as a firehall, it found new life in 1959. At the height of the Cold War, the building became a headquarters for the Department of Civil Defence, the result of which led to alterations in the interior of the building. The basement became a radiation-proof communications centre in the event of nuclear war; an emergency food kitchen was also built and radiation-proof bricks were installed at the base of the stairs, all of which reflect the mentality of the Cold War era.
